Kémcs

Kémcs is a Hungarian term that can refer to a few different things, primarily related to containers or vials. In its most common usage, it describes a small glass or plastic tube, often with a narrow neck, used for holding liquids. These are frequently encountered in laboratory settings for storing samples, reagents, or conducting experiments. The term can also extend to similar small containers used for medicinal purposes, such as holding pills or powders, though this is less common than the scientific context. In a more colloquial sense, a kémcs might also be used to describe a small bottle or phial. The word's etymology likely relates to the concept of a narrow opening or a small vessel. The specific shape and size of a kémcs can vary depending on its intended use, but the core idea remains a compact container for substances.
